The UK activates the advice of encryption from government websites
The UK government appears to have quietly cleaned the advice of encryption from government web pages, just weeks after demanding rear access to encrypted data stored on Apple cloud storage service, iCloud.
The change was monitored by the security expert, Alec Movit, who was written in Wednesday’s blog post The National Cyber Security Center in the United Kingdom (NCSC) no longer recommends that individuals exposed to the risk of encryption to protect their sensitive information.
In October, NCSC published a document entitled “Cyber Security Tips for Lawyers, Lawyers and Legal Careers”, which advised the use of encryption tools such as the advanced data protection from Apple (ADP).
ADP allows users to operate on -tip encryption to a limb for their backup, making it impossible for anyone, including Apple and government authorities, to display data stored on iCloud.
URL, which hosts the NCSC document, is now directed to a Different page This does not mention encryption or ADP. Instead, it recommends that individuals at risk use the Apple lock mode, a “extremist” safety tool that restricts access to certain functions and features.
MUFFET reports that the original document, which is still available across Wayback machineThe “sentence from the Internet” has been deleted. Techcrunch was not able to find any encryption advice on the UK government website.
The UK and NCSC Ministry of Interior did not answer Techcrunch questions.
The coding advice is removed weeks after the UK government Apple secretly ordered the construction of the back door This would give the authorities access to Icloud data for users.
After the matter, he was told for the first time before Washington PostApple pulled the ADP feature in the United Kingdom, and certain To Techcrunch that the feature will not be provided to new users in the UK, and current users will eventually need to be disabled.
